Chovy's Apocalypse
Chovy's Apocalypse, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, adds post-apocalyptic items, blocks, foods, melee weapons, crates and a cabin structure to the game.
What it does
Players gather canned foods, energy drinks, bandages and lockpicks, and craft or find melee weapons such as a fire axe, baseball bat and machete for defending against zombies. Canned foods keep hunger fuller, bandages restore health, and the energy drink grants a speed effect for 20 seconds. Decorative blocks and a cabin structure give scenes a ruined look.
Crates scattered through the world drop random items according to their type, which gives a reason to search structures and random finds. The lockpick opens iron doors and trapdoors. Chovy's Apocalypse runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, with files for 1.20.1, and the release 1.7 was added on 2025-03-16. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
